As in the link that daniel 77 put up I use 2/3 bees wax ato 1/3 vaseline and this is effective up to the 2400fps+ that I run my cast bullets.
There are a lot of ingredients in some of the home recipies that are unnessary except for specialised purposes but for the majority of every day cast bullet shooting the bees wax/vaseline works as well as most and better than others.

Swheeler--C man uses lots of lanolin. You got that correct. When I made my felix lube i had looked at recipe wrong and was to have used a tb (tablespoon) and almost used an lb (pound) before I caught it. Lots of lanolin. I also have a Brooks saddle on my bicycle and I frequently put lanolin on it. Brooks saddles are very stiff leather and take a long time to break in and the lanolin helps. I have to add the lanolin. It's my understanding that when Montana guys annually wash their pants and underwear that the first couple rinse cycles is pure lanolin. If they had Brooks saddle it would be natural process that the saddle would be dripping with laniolin. BTW Swheeler---it doesnt say where you are from--what state you live in?
